It's up to you. The journey is the prize. anonymous
Took this at my friend's place. She thinks it some kind of elm bush? I couldn't decide which one was the best to post so decided to post all three. Yep, triptychs are becoming my new obsession!! LOL
You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.
I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

@Art Monkey: Thanks, Art! After your amazing shots of the tulips, well, I knew my focusing abilities were going to have improve... greatly. Practice practice practice ;-D
Sidonie from Sydney, Australia
Clever, appealing, and arty! I've no idea of the species, but it looks like it would dry out nicely. Has a human hand suggestiveness too in the fronds!

@Scene by Sharon Photography: Thanks Sharon!! I'm finding triptychs are an excellent way showcase shots that just aren't stand - alone images. ;-)
yiannis krikis from thessaloniki, Greece
I like very much this way of presentation with two three etc pictures of the same subject. I prefer a straighter presentation as my triptychs, but this one is very beautiful. I'm waiting the next posts

@yiannis krikis: Hey yiannis!! I tend to have somewhat of a skewed view of the world.. therefore the wee offsetting of the images in the triptych. I can't wait to see what you have up your sleave for the next posts!! Thanks!! ;-)
Jacqui from Okemos, United States

Roberta from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
Holy ****! Young grasshopper surpasses the teacher!!
This is so beautiful Amy. Well done.

@Roberta: Young grasshopper say still has long way to go!! Teacher only impressed with flashy image!! LOL Hey thanks Roberta!! I just love these triptychs.. you can take shots that just don't have the same impact alone as with a group.
badala from Leiria, Portugal
Flower and leaf? Strange...
But... Beautiful nature shot. Good job.

@badala: Hey badala!! It's a weird kind of bud and yes new leaves. That's why my husband said it looked like aliens. I thank you very much for the comment! ;-)

I have no idea what that plant is, it's the first time I'm seeing it. Wonderful shots though, and the arrangement is just awesome.

@Stunner: Thanks so much Stunner! Actually, it was the first time I'd noticed the bush at my friends. ;-)
Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
And the aliens are just wonderful and you have captured them fantastically... oooopppssss another f-word ;-) Btw sorry babes, i was away on the weekend for my golf tournament and could not come here.
Anyways... i know u are blushing there, not with the f-word, probably the b-word there hehe... See i havent lost my magic even after being away for 2 days. I still make you smile and blush at the same time LOL ;-)

Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Nice work. I have no idea what they are. I think the middle one is my favorite. It has the best balance I think. But together they all work well.

@Laurie: Thanks Laurie!

Very well done. Each photo is great in its own right. The combination is awesome.
